do this meditation to calm anxiety , when you feel you are running out of time. begin by saying "stop" and pausing from your activity, breathe in slowly and deeply as you exhale imagine that time is expanding repeat this with your next two breaths each time spending a little longer on your out breath you can now resume your task with a more focused mind

when we judge ourselves we cut ourselves off from compassion {the energy of the heart} during your evening meditation acknowledge any self judgements you have made during the day then get rid of them by saying

I forgive myself for judging myself,
giving love to yourself in this way will enable you to reconnect

beyond time
begin by observing a stream of thoughts passing through your consciousness pay attention to the spaces between thoughts until all spaces expand
practice shifting your awareness between the thoughts and the spaces
as you do so feel the thoughts begin to slow
try doing this every day for 5 minutes in time you may experiance occasional moments of an absolute stillness beyond time

heres another one
Potential
meditate upon the acorn, visualize how it sprouts and grows into a great tree over the course of many decades, imagine how the world around the tree will change during that time
now focus on the potential within yourself, imagine yourself growing into that potential self during the course of your life surronded by a changing world ..what might you see what might you learn and what might you know

your best loved place
close your eyes and imagine your best loved place, the sights, scents, sounds, get as much detail as possible
remember the positive feelings you get from this place and bring them back into your life any time you need that extra little bit of happiness and comfort

taming wild horses
at times we may feel that our desires are completly out of control, to regain them visualize these desires as a group of wild horses pulling a chariot where you are the rider, when you are ready gently but firmly take the reins and tighten them, fell the horses slowing down responding as you take control, direct them which way to go and even to stop and start back up slowly...
see you can do it!

Appriciate yourself for you
meditate on a object you use everyday..think of its form,appriciate how it is uniquely shaped to do its task..
then think of yourself, think of your unique qualities and talents , what tasks are you best shaped for..it is in these areas you will find you are best able to express your love to yourself as well as others..note that in your life you almost take these for advantage... take some time to appriciate them
